Fey Mole (5e Race)

Fey Mole

Physical Description

Fey Moles are stout, squat mutated fey creatures. Their size usually varies from being 0.8 to 1.5 feet tall - though, those who turn themselves into cyborgs can be orders of magnitude bigger. They have short gray fur and tiny, narrow, shiny dark eyes. Their hands have four fingers and they are a digitigrade species with three toes. They have 2 very small ears (about as big, as ears of actual mole), and 2 even smaller feelers; their tail is practically non-existent. They are versatile, most of them are quite tough. They commonly wear camouflage military uniforms, usually of "dirt"/"underground"/"rock" color; when going to missions, they nearly always wear chemical protection equivalent to rebreather and hazmat suit, or even heavier protection - as being on Surface without heavy environmental protection usually results in instant death. They often combine futuristic gear and armor with rather vintage looks, what wouldn't be out of fashion in World Wars period, yet have all futuristic functionality and advantages.

History

Their origins trace to pre-apocalyptic period. Back in the day, there was group of divergent fey creatures, called "Renegades" (by normal fey) or "Laborers" (by themselves); they didn't care at all about nature, used to pollute air with their pre-industrial machinery (such as when smelting bronze and iron), and cut a lot of trees (though, they did plant the saplings back). Naturally, normal fey creatures got fed up with "Laborer" antics, and decided to settle them in separate place - yet all neighboring fey creatures also didn't want to live in same forest with "Laborers". As result, "Laborers" were sent underground, where they dug a large network of tunnels for themselves. Then later, the apocalypse happened, with Surface getting increasingly mode inhospitable; fairly large number of normal fey creature fled to "Laborer" tunnels and got culturally assimilated. After refugee waves ended, "Laborers" have closed all links to Surface and dug deeper, dreaming what one day, they'll "recapture that large supply of dead wood what is now Spirit Forest". Hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of years later, they are altered, adapted, and ready to raid for what was rightfully theirs; after apocalypse, their industrialist and polluter tendencies only got exaggerated - as the nature and normal fey creatures are already dead, so no one cares about how much they burn or smoke, and apocalypse only proved their ideas as "nature would die anyways"; from there on, they were known as "Fey Moles".

Fey Moles are mutated descendants of somewhat normal fey, what went underground after apocalypse involving corruption and darkness. They adapted to lack of light and underground conditions, and heavily industrialized. They live in depths of their bunker-cities - moving around via digging machines aka "under-earth submarines", or just by mining quickly. They rarely go to the polluted, corrupted and devastated Surface - but when they do so, they do so with intents of monster extermination or retrieving relics. They don't care about nature - or even outright despise it, as they regularly see corrupted nature creatures at Surface and may erroneously link nature to darkness and corruption. They are born out of leaves of Spirit Bushes - tiny mutated, quickly-reproducing Spirit Trees adapted to constant darkness. They have good sight in darkness, but have good vision in light. They have futuristic technologies, more advanced than modern-day humanity, and they are also great at magic.

Society

Fey Moles live in deep bunker cities, and are heavily industrialized and militarized. They tend to form expansionist, militarist, heavily totalitarian and regulated regimes. They usually don't care about what happens on the Surface, but can raid it for resources and artifacts; they don't assault civilized people, but are hostile to monsters and raiders.

Personality

Fey Moles are lawful, believing firmly in the benefits of a well-ordered society. They want to expand and build. They want to cleanse the ruined Surface from corruption and darkness, so monstrosities wouldn't interfere with their bunker-empire building. They are as greedy as dwarves are, searching for ores and artifacts of age begone.
